Hard to know if the mythic rarity is really needed, seeing as we haven't seen any legendary creatures. This is probably mythic just like Force of Will is, because of the history or how powerful it is elsewhere. Either way this might give me the chance to own one for an EDH deck of mine.
Also, is it me or does the white mana symbol seem off?
Yeah, the symbol does seem off (W). Maybe it's an homage to the old style?
That must be the case as no other symbol seems off like that.
It's currently sitting at ~$150. That's not quite rare territory for a reprint.
Hua Tuo, Honored Physician was $70 before being put into Commander 2013. The price of the card should have no bearing on what rarity it gets. They said this was a set for draft and unless there is 10+ great legendaries there really isn't a reason for this to be mythic.
I guess the foils of this being somewhere at $400+ because it is mythic is a good thing though, I guess.
Not a fan of Symbiotes new art, but after that things are fine here. I am surprised to see a reprint from something as late as Origins, but it isn't a huge deal, it is a decent card.
Would have been great to see him in Conspiracy 2, but that set may have an ongoing story and Dack may not be anywhere near that plane. Still good to see him though.

Of course the set will have bulk rares. If every rare is 10+ dollar, the store will never sell you the booster at this price (they will make more money by opening it themselves then selling you the singles).
If every rare of the set is 10+ dollar, you will have to pay 20+$ for the booster and rage when you open a 10$ rare
Even if I would be disappointed to open this over a wasteland, the card is still playable in casual or EDH decks, has great art and will be great to open in limited!
While it is true to get $10 in every rare slot, there really isn't a reason to put cards that are 50 cents when there are plenty of $3-$6 ones that we won't mind seeing. Goblin Charbelcher is only about $4 and no one was upset seeing it.
If this set would simply be a "normal" price pack it would be totally fine.
As it is, we get a ton of "rares" (and mythics) that are worth allmost nothing, and that will just make the product much less fitting for the 10$ price tag.
Thats a real problem, as it totally says this product is NOT worth its 10$ packs and its quite a rip off so far.
Cards are totally cool, a lot of the new artwork is great, but its really not 10$ per pack, not even a little bit ...
Right now it is looking better than MM2, but this set needs to be careful before it becomes another MM2. If the rares keep being just as bad this set would have been better having $7 boosters rather than $10 ones.
Even as an owner of a playset of old Entombs, I`m happy about that. The card has been way too expensive for way too long.
All that said, what in gods name is going to happen to the prices of Revised duals with all these Legacy staples tanking in price? It`s going to get very scary.
Much like MM1 everything not included will spike and the price crashes of some of these cards will not last long as people scramble to get these as cheap as possible. Ultimately leading to the set not doing much except for the cards that were $4 or so before reprinting.
This say reprint twice within a small period of time, not sure why this was put in here at all. Making it rare, although a tad necessary in limited, is just nuts in a set like this. Hopefully there aren't many more of these less than $1 rares, because we've gotten two of them today and Worldgorger Dragon might as well be less than $1 as a mythic.
I don't know how good this card is, and only just learned about this card a couple days ago, but this feels like it could be uncommon in a set like this.
That must be the case as no other symbol seems off like that.

So it is, I was unaware of this. Guess I won't need one anymore.
